    New shocks / springs for street track setup?

    I contacted Vorshlag and they said they can make a cc plate to adapt standard race coils They also confirmed they MIGHT make a run of the street-pro coil over setup and IF they do it won’t be til around fall of this year. Assuming H&R uses bilsteins that option with the vorshlag plates might be...

    New shocks / springs for street track setup?

    Any idea if those could be made to fit with a race spring like hyperco or swift?

    S197 Tick built Magnum XL

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. @67GTA looks like liberty is the better deal, more upgrades and about $500 less. I’ll have to call tomorrow to get the full details but thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

    S197 Tick built Magnum XL

    I’m in the process of putting together a magnum xl swap for my gen 1 coyote and I’ve seen some threads recommending upgrading the stock magnum for high rpm shifts and track use. I came across the Tick built magnum xl and was looking into the stage 4 with billet forks.(recommended by the rep)...

    Has anyone done the Magnum XL swap and regretted it?

    For 8k shifts would the tick level 4 be ok? It comes with the following and the level 5 comes with all of this and cryo treatment and micro polishing.Installing Carbon Blocker Rings on first, third and fourth gears (second gear is already carbon) Upgrading all fork pads from plastic to bronze...

    Has anyone done the Magnum XL swap and regretted it?

    My 5th gear on my MT82 seems like it’s on its way out and I’ve been wanting to swap for the magnum for awhile now so I finally have a decent excuse. Trying to plan everything financially, and wondering what everyone’s input is as far as which magnum to get. The car will be used as a weekend/hpde...

    Camber setting maxed

    @mavisky no camber bolts and @BluPil there’s no room in the strut mount slots for any camber adjustment. @DaveW I have about 5-6mm but even if I wanted to push closer I don’t have any adjustment left.I took it all apart and double checked the cc plates and as far as I can tell they’re...

    Camber setting maxed

    @JAJ from what I can tell everything installed correctly. Vorshlag logo towards front of the car and on their respective sides LF/RF. @mavisky I was concerned that the MM k-member had something to do with it but from I was told it shouldn’t have any effect. And it’s not offset because camber is...

    Camber setting maxed

    Recently purchased and installed some vorshlag cc plates on my 2012 Mustang GT to replace my MM cc plates and get some extra negative camber but somehow I lost about -.5 on each side. Not sure how that happened because I know everyone else seems to get more with the vorshlag setup. I’m currently...

    Need more negative camber

    Reviving an old thread.. I recently moved and didn’t have much time to do much with Mustang until about a month ago..ended up making the switch to vorshlag cc plates and cutting open my strut tower and somehow now I’m only ending up with 2.1-2.2 negative camber, I have no idea how that happened...

    S197 Coyote Baffled Oil Pan Options

    I know this thread is a little old but I was wondering how much ground clearance is lost with the amoroso 20571? I was also looking at the Moroso 20568 which seems to prevent losing any ground clearance but I don’t know if that necessarily makes it a better/worse option since I don’t think...

    Keep my S197 or sell for a used GT350?

    I think that’s another reason I’m leaning towards keeping the S197. I would assume if/when my coyote goes out it would be relatively inexpensive to rebuild/replace compared to the GT350 5.2. And like I said in my previous post, I don’t think I would feel comfortable beating on it like I do the...

    Keep my S197 or sell for a used GT350?

    The goal was to have a track capable car that I could still take out on the street if I just wanted to go for a cruise. Realistically though, if I bought a GT350 I don’t know that I would actually abuse it on a track out of fear of damaging it or worse..loving it and starting the race car build...

    Keep my S197 or sell for a used GT350?

    I forgot to mention I also have long tubes so I don’t think that will be an option. but if I come across a cheap set of stock manifolds/cats I might make the swap every couple of years for the sake of a little street use. It’s also good to know the L&M cams will work with the stock tune long...
